The changes to the RM,AM, etc are handled by the Architecture Review
Board (ARB).  

There is a formal change process documented here:
http://www.openehr.org/specifications/specs_governance.html 

and here:

http://www.openehr.org/svn/specification/TRUNK/publishing/CM/CM_plan.pdf

and you can enter your problem Report/Change Request here: 
http://www.openehr.org/issues/browse/SPEC?report=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.project:changelog-panel

You should ask this question on the Java project mailing list:
http://www.openehr.org/projects/java.html I'm not sure what their bug
management process is but the Python project uses Launchpad:

This is certainly the case as you'll see from the above links.

A question that others can answer as well. ;-)
